Here's my torential downpour gobbler. Spent the second half of this morning in a blind after drying out from attempt #1. This guy came in during the thunder and lightning only to get struck by a different bolt of lightning. Pardon the wet pic but we got over 3" of rain in a 24 hour period and I was soaked just getting in and out. Yes I do own rain gear but didn't have it this weekend.

He was walking in 2-4 inches of water in what was dry field a day before. The thunder was shaking the ground and I'm thinking they'll be debating whether it was holding the xbow or the metal chair frame on the seat I was using that attracted the lightning when they found me. FLASH - boom is not fun under the trees. The things we do and call fun. I don't know what the total rainfall was but they had a flash flood warning in effect. I usually carry rain gear but a 1 day hunt turned into 2 and I go caught without it.
